Mastery: If You Only Read One More Book This Year, Read This

Issue No. 43 | October 23rd, 2023 | Read Time: 2 Minutes

Happy Monday Everyone!

I've read over 150 books in the last four years.

But there are only a handful of those that have truly changed my life.

As for the rest? Waste of time.

Am I upset that I've spent over a thousand hours reading to only find a handful of books that I truly love?

Not at all.

Because all it takes is one book to change your life.

You have exactly nine weeks until the end of 2023. Plenty of time to read

one more

book.

But before I share it with you, I want to tell you a little about myself.

The biggest mistake I ever made was trying to do it all.

I'm all for experimenting, but when you're dabbling in affiliate marketing, dropshipping, day trading, writing, print on demand, and flipping stuff on eBay, it gets hard to succeed in one thing.

It wasn't until I realized that success comes from narrowing your focus that I decided to go all in on writing.

And that's what this book taught me.

It taught me that when your focus varies, your success does too. Being busy is not the same as being productive.

Every person who has ever succeeded started out by giving it their all in 

one thing

. 

Because mastery comes from obsession.

It comes from consistent trial and error and not backing down the moment things get a little hard. 

Trust me, if you want to become successful in something as soon as possible, you're better off doing one thing than spreading yourself thin and experimenting with a bunch of different ideas.

Take it from me, I've been there. 

And it wasn't until I read

The One Thing

by Gary Keller that I realized I was doing it all wrong.

So if you had to choose one more book to read this year, read

The One Thing

.

There's still time for you to succeed this year. Don't wait around for New Year's or the first of next month. Just choose what you're going to do, and f*cking do it. 

I want you to be successful as soon as possible.

I want you to be a master at your craft.

And this book will give you the tools and mindset needed to reach that point.

All it takes is one book.

Or better yet, all it takes is

one thing

.

Until next time,

Isaiah Taylor
